Hi Holger, I took some the AttacheableFileStream from OSProcess and I changed it a bit for OSSubprocess. If you load OSSubprocess into Pharo 5.0 [1] you can try the following:
| reader | reader := OSSAttachableFileStream name:'myStream' attachTo: aFileID writable: false. reader setNonBlocking "optional" Then you can read via #upToEnd (or any of StandardFileStream, as OSSAttachableFileStream is a subclass). I hope with this you can solve b). I still didn't understand why do you mean with a). What do you mean by "monitor it from being readable" ? I think you could dig a bit in OSSPipe, OSSAttachableFileStream and their usage. All classes have class comments, all methods are also documented, and there is quite some documentation in [1]. Let me know how it goes. Chers, On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 3:26 PM, Holger Freyther <hol...@freyther.de> wrote: > Hi, > > I explored to use the Linux inotify API using UFFI.
